HOLY PEOPLES

Holy Peoples Unfaithfulness

Ezra 9

The Holy people of Israel, the priests and the Levites had been unfaithful to God and not separated themselves from the surrounding peoples with despicable practices. “Even in our slavery God has given us new life and light to our eyes. Though we are slaves, our God has not abandoned us in our slavery. He has extended grace to us in the presence of Persian kings, giving us new life, so that we can rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem…

The land you are entering to possess is an impure land, the surrounding peoples have filled it from end to end with their uncleanness by their impurity and detestable practices. So do not give your daughters to their sons in marriage or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity so that you will be strong, eat the good things of the land and leave it as an inheritance to your sons forever.” This sounds just like today’s world and the Redeemed of the Lord are to rebuild the ruins.

From “My Prayer Times” Elaine Cook #236, 2008

Regarding those who are despised by others for hearing and obeying God radically-

‘I heard the Lord speak: “ Even as Jacob and Esau strove in the womb, so it is yet today. Within My people are two natures and they war one with another. I have called aside a remnant people to whom I have revealed Myself and My ways and taught them how to walk with Me in Spirit. 

Not understanding this, My Esau children of the flesh, knowing only the rule of the flesh, strive with these, and mock them as though they were unclean and leprous. They understand not that their flesh-worship of Me is unclean in my sight.

“They have said in their hearts, we will not have this man to rule over us, and so it is that they continue to rule their own lives thinking they are pleasing to Me. And so it shall be until the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold and there shall be no herd in the stalls…” Hab. 3:17, 18

Then shall they cry unto the Lord of the harvest for food – both natural and spiritual. And I shall send unto them those whom they had despised because of My rule over them. And, they must hear their word before they can hear Mine, for My Word has become flesh in them. These are they who have purposed in their hearts to have no ruler but their Lord. To Him alone will they bow and render all their allegiance. 

These things shall you see happening before your very eyes – those who heard and saw the Word in you and turned away from it shall turn again in repentance and beg from you the living Bread which you have in a plentiful supply. The fulfillment of these word is not far off.’
